Worcester Mag's Hometown Heroesnew
Some stand out for putting their own lives in danger so that others will be safe. Others dedicate their lives to giving to others. For some, the desire to help others transcends all else. All the heroes we honor this year have at least one thing in common: They don’t consider what they do heroic and they aren’t seeking the limelight. That’s OK.

Shoot First, Justify Later
Imagine that you were the president of United States. Now think what you would do if you or one of your advisers proposed an idea—a great idea, one that solved a big problem—that was radical to the point of possibly crossing the legal line into unconstitutionality. You'd want to lawyer that sucker, right?
